YOU KNOW YOU’RE AN ADULT WHEN…

Do you ever find yourself thinking, it’s hilarious that people believe I’m an adult?!? They’ve given me responsibility, I keep other things and people alive! And then you find yourself bogged down in the mundane day-to-day stuff and you think ‘Yep, it’s true I’m an adult!’.
